Doctor Who 311 & 312

Warning. There may be excessive gushing under the cut.



*tackles Jack to the floor of the TARDIS, licks him until the Doctor gets jealous and Martha and the Master join in*

Never leave Jack. Please, never ever leave. Do you know how happy I was when I saw JB's name in big bold letters in the opening credits? It made me so happy because he's not just another pick 'em up and leave 'em companion. Now I know, I know, he's no Rose or Martha, he can't possibly be there all the time, but I really hope Jack is one of the characters we get to see every now and then. Because he brings something special to the whole mix. He has a way of getting around the Doctor's evasiveness that Martha doesn't have yet but he's very much his own person as well. And though I think he loves the Doctor just as much as Rose, or Martha, he also knows there are things about him that the Doctor despises; his immortality and his association with Torchwood. He knows that ultimately, these are things the Doctor's never going to get past, not deep down though, and that the Doctor will never love him back the same way. And Jack's strong enough to carry on, even knowing that certainty. I think both Martha and Rose believe/believed they had the chance to make the Doctor truly love them. Jack's been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Gives me shivers just thinking about all the UST Jack's committed himself to. The whole "You too?" to Martha when the Doctor says "It's like when you fancy someone and they don't even know you exist" just made my heart break.

Which brings me to the Doctor. The lonely, lost Doctor who's vengeful and angry and needs the Master in ways I don't think we're meant to understand yet. And he needs Jack and Martha too, he's just not ready to admit it. (He needed Rose and look where that got him). He's just so damn lonely. I think part of him is so willing to love, as we saw with that nurse and I think he could love Jack and Martha, it just feels like its all gotta reach a boiling point some time soon. I'm just kind of scared to think what it's going to take for him to lay Rose's ghost to rest.

Then there was the Master. Hot damn, but if there's sexual tension between Jack and the Doctor, then it's off the scale with the Master. "I love it when you use my name." Yup. That's me, lying on the ground in a big pile of goo. I hope we will be seeing so very much of the Master and his craziness.

Gah. It's late. And I'm a blubbering mess. I've rewatched parts of 3x12 several times now and written half a PWP threesome fic (shut up and don't laugh, half is better than nothing, so what if I never finish a damn thing these days) I'm going to go to bed to dream of very nice, and very naughty thoughts. After I finish wiping off the licking marks from my screen.
